A homemade bomb went off in the Dair village of Bahrain last night, injuring five policemen, two critically, a report said.

The blast took place as the officers were confronting thugs who blocked roads and attacked them with Molotov cocktails. Sources said that an officer's leg had to be amputated after it was blown off in the explosion.

"His name is Waseem Qamar," they added.

The Interior Ministry confirmed on its official Twitter account that a homemade bomb had injured several policemen in Dair.
